“This strategic acquisition will enable Solidus to further diversify its operations geographically, realise significant synergies, accelerate its growth into a leading pan-European mid-market business and establish itself as a true champion in the areas of solid board, graphic board and core board.”
Founded in 1911, Abelan is headquartered in San Andrés in northern Spain and has three manufacturing facilities in Spain and France.
The company’s first division specialises in the production of core board used for cardboard tubes, boxes and other packaging applications, while the solid board packaging division supplies a variety of boxes and trays to multiple European industries.
